Boss, do you have a card?

The third floor of the Armed Detective Agency, a temporary meeting room.

Everyone sat around the conference table, the president was not there, and Kunikida Doppo was in charge of this meeting.

However, although Kunikida Doppo notified the meeting, before entering the meeting room, he was not clear about the content of the next discussion, just because Osamu Dazai told him with a serious face, "This matter is related to the life of Oda Saku ", so he organized it urgently.

Even the person concerned, Sakunosuke Oda, was dragged into the conference room in a daze.

And after Oda Sakunosuke suddenly explained the incident, the calmness of everyone immediately lost its hold.

"What?!" Kunikida Doppo was so excited that he stood up, "Oda, why are you talking about such an important matter now?"

"It's obviously Kunikida-kun's negligence. When Miss Mei told Odasaku, you were there." Osamu Dazai knocked on the table with a condemning tone.

Even knowing that Osamu Dazai said this on purpose, Kunikida Doppo still blamed himself from the bottom of his heart: "Sorry..."

Atsushi Nakajima has the same guilty face.

At that time, they were being treated by Xie Ye, and they didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things. They didn't even hear such an important conversation.

On the contrary, it is more straightforward with Yosano Akiko: "It is meaningless to say these things now, how to solve the important ones, do you want to try my supernatural ability? Maybe it can be eliminated."

Rao Oda Sakunosuke was also strangely silent for a few seconds at this time: "...No, thank you, I don't think so."

Yosano Akiko narrowed her eyes: "How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?"

Oda Sakunosuke was at a loss for words.

It is rare to see a good friend choking. Osamu Dazai happily watched the excitement for a while, and only helped out when Oda Sakunosuke was really unable to answer.

"Actually, about this, we have already consulted Miss Ming. It is said that it is a one-way control contract that acts on the soul, and even if you die once, you can't escape." Osamu Dazai spread his hands, "Being entangled by a terrible Yuki , Odasaku."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

Kunikida Doppo sighed, and comforted: "It's not your fault, after all, you just did a good deed, and the other party targeted you for no reason..."

Osamu Dazai interrupted: "It's not inexplicable, as long as we have a relationship with Miss Ming, everyone in the detective agency is not safe, and Oda Saku is just the first one."

Yosano Akiko raised her hand and drew everyone's attention: "So, the enemy can be identified now, right? It's called Shelley? Do you have a photo?"

"No, I can only describe the general appearance as a reference." Dazai Osamu shrugged, "Well~ After all, it is a ghost, and transformation is a basic skill."

Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while, then interjected: "I don't think I will be in danger in the short term."

Kunikida Doppo frowned, and said in disapproval: "Oda, you must not let your guard down. If she is harmless, there is no need for Miss Curator to let Miss Ming come over to deal with her."

Osamu Dazai nodded desperately, and said with righteous indignation: "Yes, no matter how good-looking she is, Odasaku, you can't be soft-hearted!"

Oda Sakunosuke paused: "...not because of this."

Osamu Dazai looked at him with deep meaning: "Odasaku, did you hesitate just now?"

"Don't make silly jokes at a time like this!" Kunikida Doppo patted Dazai Osamu's head away speechlessly, then turned to the other side, "Mr. Ranpo, what do you think about this?"

Everyone's discussion was in full swing, only the pillars of the detective agency didn't intend to participate at all.

Ranpo Edogawa had two piles of things in front of him, and he had been fiddling with them since he entered the conference room.

On the left is Fu's original handwritten letter, with the leaf cover thrown aside and a sheet of petal letter paper spread out, while on the right is the handwritten version by Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka.

Hearing Kunikida Doppo's question, Edogawa Ranpo replied without raising his head: "Oda will be fine, Dazai will take care of it."

Osamu Dazai responded happily: "Yes, Mr. Ranpo~"

Since it was Mr. Ranpo's intention, Kunikida Doppo naturally accepted it. Although Dazai Osamu was usually out of tune, he never lost the chain when dealing with important events, not to mention that this time it was Oda's crisis, this guy would definitely be more serious.

Although he couldn't understand at all how Oda became friends with this guy.

"In case the other party comes back again, you have to find a way to contact Dazai, or contact us first, in short, don't be alone with her." Kunikida Doppo said to Oda Sakunosuke worriedly.

Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Okay, I will."

Kunikida Doppo was relieved at this, and then turned to Osamu Dazai, "Dazai, you said that you had a conversation with Miss Mei yesterday, so besides Oda, did you talk about anything else?"

Osamu Dazai blinked: "This—"

Snapped!

Suddenly, the sound of slamming the table sounded.

"Okay! Lord Ranpo has solved this puzzle!"

Everyone in the meeting room was stunned by the detective's behavior, and then they reacted one after another.

Kunikida Doppo hurriedly asked: "Mr. Ranpo, have you deciphered the contents of Fu's letter?"

Edogawa Ranpo raised his legs, proudly: "Of course, it's very simple. Master Ranpo is indeed the smartest person in the world!"

Osamu Dazai held the venue and applauded: "As expected of Mr. Ranpo~"

Yosano Akiko asked: "So, those symbols are really the language of fairies?"

Except for the president who was away from home and couldn't come back for a while, everyone in the detective agency read Fu's letter, and of course they were full of question marks, even Dazai was no exception, but now Ranpo said it was very simple, which aroused their curiosity.

Edogawa Ranpo was in a good mood, and the end of the sentence raised slightly: "I'm not sure if it's Fairy Language, but it is indeed a new language."

Kunikida Doppo expressed surprise: "I thought they spoke the same language as us."

Whether it is Fu or Claire, there is no communication barrier with them at all.

"Even there are cultural differences between countries, not to mention that even the 'world' is different, maybe there is a powerful magic that can bring its own translator—or something."

Osamu Dazai made wild guesses without any basis.

Atsushi Nakajima wondered: "In this case, why does Miss Goblin write letters in two different languages? Isn't it very troublesome?"

Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses: "It's the confidentiality of the information. If it is written in a language that everyone can understand, it will be very easy for others to steal it."

Osamu Dazai smiled, resting his fingertips on his chin: "I think it should be the handwriting of the lady curator. After all, Fu is too stupid to be so thoughtful."

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly realized that he hadn't thought of this at all.

"However, Mr. Ranpo is really amazing." Atsushi Nakajima said with admiration, "You can even understand characters you have never seen before so quickly."

Edogawa Ranpo gave Atsushi Nakajima a blank look with the eyes of an idiot: "How can you understand it?"

Atsushi Nakajima: "Huh?"

"There must be a basis for reasoning. My supernatural ability is "super reasoning", not "whatever you want". "

After solving the puzzle, Ranpo Edogawa was finally in the mood to eat snacks. He opened a bag of potato chips and said while eating, "Didn't Dazai just say that the letter has magic similar to translation."

Suddenly choked by Osamu Dazai of the cue, he said helplessly, "Mr. Ranpo, you clearly know that I was talking nonsense just now."

So everyone was even more confused, and their puzzled eyes all fell on the famous detective.

After being watched for a while, Edogawa Ranpo put down the potato chips, pretending to be helpless and elongated his voice: "I really have nothing to do with you, as expected, I can only rely on Ranpo-sama here—well, let me show you."

He began to call people: "Kunikida, bring the wreath from the president's office."

Kunikida Doppo didn't ask why, he just said "Yes" and went out.

Edogawa Ranpo moved the letter paper and snacks away with his hands, leaving a space on the table, and he arranged the petal letter paper in several rows in order.

Before he finished arranging it, Osamu Dazai understood it and said clearly.

"So that's how it is... Indeed, it's too unreasonable to manually transcribe a letter written by a goblin. We did something superfluous."

Since the original letter had been kept in Kunikida Doppo's to prevent it from being lost, he didn't bother to read it, so he didn't discover the mystery above.

Others still don't get it.

Osamu Dazai stretched out his finger to remind: "If you place it like this, all the symbols will be connected, just like the magic circle in fairy tales."

He clicked on a page of the copied version next to it, and there was that pattern on it, which looked strange and abrupt in the emoji package.

"Look, Fu also specially drew an example picture for us, and everyone ignored it before."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Hmm~"

Everyone was stunned.

Yosano Akiko approached with interest and said, "And then? Is it okay to arrange it like this?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "There is still an important activation item missing."

Not long after, Kunikida Doppo came in with a garland and handed it to Edogawa Ranpo.

"Mr. Ranpo, here it is."

Miyazawa Kenji looked very excited: "This, that is that!"

Edogawa Ranpo was extremely proud: "That's right! That's it, only Ranpo-sama and the president own it in the whole world!"

what? What?Does this wreath have any special meaning?

Atsushi Nakajima was puzzled.

"No one here knows magic, and if you want to activate the magic circle, you can only use the magic items left by Fu." Osamu Dazai explained beside him, with a slightly envious tone, "It's the fairy's blessing. Good luck, super effective, I have borrowed it from Mr. Ranpo and the president, but none of them are willing to lend it to me."

Kunikida Doppo twitched the corner of his mouth: "No matter how you think about it, it's impossible to lend you the wreath for suicide, right?"

Osamu Dazai regretted: "Oh, if there were garlands, I would have committed suicide long ago."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

How does this make him complain.

Osamu Dazai's lament did not get everyone's attention.

Ranpo Edogawa put the garland on the petals, and almost at the moment when the two touched, the magic circle connected by the characters immediately lit up with golden lines, and then the characters broke away from the letter paper and floated floatingly , rearranging in mid-air.

Under the eyes of everyone, the characters of the other world were converted into the language they are most familiar with.

Only then did Atsushi Nakajima know that the first half of the letter was Fu's personal 'letter', while the second half of the encrypted part was a 'letter' written by the curator.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Everyone's expressions gradually became serious.

No one spoke. After all, these words describe the survival crisis of a world.

…Dark matter spread from the abyss to the earth, and a large number of weak races were polluted and fell into madness. Someone tried to unseal another "Book of Seals" that sealed tens of thousands of demons, and the core material for unsealing it was in their world ...

as well as.

——If this "Book of Demons" is unsealed, it is very likely to affect the fact that they are in the world.
